secure much better results than by the or
dinary plan of potting plants 4 good
well-rooted plants can be gEA Apearly
a month earlier than in the felt This
renders fall planting much more saSs and
practicable, as the plants have longer
time to grow. In dry weather this
method is especially advantageous. More
plants can also be grown than by any
other method, hence it is especially ap-
plicable with new varieties. In market
gardens it could be practlsed to adyan-
tage, as strawberries could be grown sue
cessfully as second crop. On rich soil
the growth will be sufficient, so that the
plants will yield arly full crop the
season after planting. 1t is probable
that some of the insect enemies OF the
strawberry may be successfully met when
this method is practised. Some remarks
on this subject will be found in the re-
port of the entomologist. Unless the
plants are propagated carly, and the
planting done as soon as possible, there
are no advantages in this plan over that
of roofing plants in pots in the field, or
even of taking ordinary runners as soon
as roots have formed.-Neao York World.

"Does Jesus Often Como IIere."

A little fve-year-old child of poverty,
being shown owe. home of great wealth,
as she saw the rich carpets and sump
tuous furnishings, looked up into the
face of the mistress and said, II should
think Jesus must come here very often,
it is such nice house and such beauti-
full carpet. He comes to our house, and
we don't have any carpet I am sure he
must come here very often; doesn't heG'
Receiving no reply, she repeated the
question, and the answer was, ~ am
afraid not" Soon the child went home,
but her bit of q sermon remained, and
that night tie lady repeated it to her
wealthy, worldly husband, telling him
the touching incident, and it resulted in
both husband and wife seeking Christ
and opening their hearts and homes
to him. 1t is the word spoken from the
heart for Jesus, and followed by the Spirit
that does thu work, whether the preacher
be child or orator.

The Sugar King.

Claus Sprecklcs is native of Hanover,
Germany, and of humble origin. He
came to the United States about 1880,
and opened a grocers store in New York
CITY. He went to California and opened
a crocer's store and made money fast.
A later venture was to buy an interest in
a brewery. After a few years he sold out,
a large gamer, and invested his money in
the business of refining sugar, He now
controls the sugar business of the Pacific
coast, and has the monopoly of the trade
in that staple with Hawaii, -Ae1rhaats'

A Word for the Hour.

It is not, after all, thing to be won
dered at that men should reject the
great truths of revelation. These truths
are spiritual, and the carnal mind has no
capacity for receiving them; they are
holy, and are never likely to please un-
godl7 hearts, and, besides, they are
humb!ing to the creature, and give all
glory to God, and hence proud flesh is
at drawn daggers with them. If the
unregenerate world received the gospel
with favor, it would cast great
doubt upon the divine nature
of the doctrine; but when
the unrenewed heart rejects it with dis
dain, it does, in its own blind way, &C.
knowledge that the teaching is not of
man, neither by man. II the gospel
were of the world, the world would lovo
Its own; but because it is of God,
therefore the world rejects it. Have we
not been too much staggered by the
fact that the direction of modern
thought is against evangelical truthF
Was not ancient thought the sames
Is not that text always true, "My
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither
are nv ways your ways, saith the
Lord - Rev. c. H. Spurgeon.

TEMPERANCE.
A Good Deed.

In Rockland, Maine, on circus day, W. D.
Breck placed big barrel Of ice water in
front Of his store, which furnished free the
cooling refreshment for the thirsty. Above
the barrel was placed the following on
placard:

And if you wish to trade with us,
The profits will pay for the ice."

Music in China.

The Chinese play to-day just as they
did 1000 years ago, says H. E: Krehbiel
The art as it was then has been
petrifed "by fantastic system OF mental
philosophy and an adamantine conserva-
tism." So that in considering the con-
dition of the musical art in China to-day
we have an actual sight of what was the
system and practice at the time OF Plato:
The refinement in this knowledge OF
music is mostly on its metaphysical side.
The Chinese sages could and do publish
doctrine touching music which is golden
doctrine in the art of to-day, but the
sounds they produce are din in which
traces of order and of mclodious sequence
are not discernible except by very
patient and very we'll trained ear. A
barbarism rests on the music still, and to
add to the many paradoxcs which the
Chinese hold before us, they conccde that
the art of to-day is a degenerate one,
but speak with pride of one now lost
which tlourished at time when Greece
was yet shrouded in prehistoric gloom,

RELIGIOUS READING.
New Every Morning.

New Every Morning.
Every day Is fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
You who are weary Of sorrow or SHINING,
Hero Is beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
All the past things are past and over.
The tasks are done and the tears arc shed;
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover,
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
blsd,
Are healed with the healing which night
has shed
Yesterday is part Of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds
tight
With glad days and sad days, and bad days
which never,
Shall visit US moro with their bloom and
their blight.
Their fulness Of sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Let them go since wc cannot relieve them,
Can not undo aud can not atone,
God in His mercy receive, forgive them,
Only the new days are our own,
To-day Is ours and to-day alone.
Here are the skies all FURNISHED brightly,
He is the spent earth all reborn,
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly
To face the sun and to share with the
morn
In the chrism Of dew and the cool Of dawn,
Every day is fresh beginning,
Listen, my SOUL to the sad refrain,
And spite OF old sorrow and old SHINING,
And puzzle forecasted, and possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.

Hints OH Haying.

Hay that is raked and punched up
early in the afternoon while it is hot will
be cured more the next morning than
that that is left till the air grows damp
and the dew begins to fall. Do your
raking soon after dinner and the getting
in later when it is not so hot.
Hay that is to be opened may be opened
as soon as the dew is off the grass.
Some men wait for the ground to get
hot, but the same heat that would not
affect the ground would be drying the
hay if it was spread out.
Never stop moving for dull weather
till you get as much down as you can
handle when it clears off. Rain Will not
hurt grass till it willis.
If hay has to stand in the bunch
through long, dull spell, build it over,
a cock at a time, and let the air through
it and put portion on top that has been
on the ground.
At night is the time to Judge of the
weather. If it looks promising then
never stop for fog or clouds in the morn
ing; they will blow over
Dew does but little damage to hay in
any stage of dryncss. 1t brings some of
the Juices to the surface and changes the
color; it also makes it smell swecter and
cattle will often eat hay better that has
been wet with dew or slight shower.
If you cannot get hay rakcd before the
dew begins to fall let it lie, if the weather
looks ri ght. MAKE hay while the sun
Shines"
Dry it before you put it In. Steaming
in the NOV will damage it more than
getting wet in the field if it is properly
put up. An old farmers rule, and one
that is probably reliable, to tell when
clover hay is dry enough to put in the
barn is to test it with the thumb nail. If
the bark cannot be scrapcd from the stalk
it is safe to put it in.-Ne1o York Herald.
New Method Of Growing Strawberry
Plants.
The method described below perhaps
ought not to be called new, as it has been
known and practiced for some time; but
not until quite recently has public at
tcntion been called to it. Mr.. F. c.
Miller, of Ohio, has probably practised
it more extensively and successfully than
any one else, but it has been tried at the
Ohio Experiment Station several years
and found to be practicable. The last
report from the station contains the fol-
lowing concerning this method:
1t consists simply in removing the
young runners from the plants as soon,
or even before, they have taken root, and
propagating in a cold frame; or, in other
words, treating the young plants as
florists treat cuttings. There arc several
notifications of the plan, but the essen
tial conditions arc a plentiful supply of
moisture and partial shade. The plants
may be set in two-inch pots, filled with
suitable soil, or they may be planted
closely together in bed of sand, such
as florists use for propagating purposes.
Sufficient water should be given to keep
the soil moist constantly, but not soak
ing wet. Shade must be given sufficient
to prevent whiting. This may be done
with lath, cloth or whitcwashed glass.
AS soon as the plants are rooted suf-
fciently they should be planted in the
field and kept clean by thorough cultiva-
ton. it Is possible, by this method, to

THE twenty-ffth annual report CT the
Comptroller Of the Currency shows that
the total number OF national banks in
operation on October 81 was SO6l. The
total number OF new banks formed during
the last year is 225; the total number
closed during the year is thirty-three, OF
which twenty-five went into voluntary
liquidation and eight failed. The gross
increase in national bank capital during
the year amounts to $36,894,77 There
has been, however, decrease of capital
of Sc, 322,450. The net increase OF capital
for the year is therefore $50, 572,525. On
the other hand, there is net decrease OF
$50, 495, $50 in the circulation represented
by bonds. The people may see from this
statement how great is the security Of the
national banking system. That only
eight banks out of grand total OF
3O61 failed, is g tribute of security, at
least, which should be considered by those
who are discussing the banking system Of

OPIUM SMUGGLING AT GETROIT.

Tbs Treasury Department Unearthing Gus
toms Eyasions-A ChinsIn An Arrested
DETROIT, MICH, Dec. 1.-THE Treas
ury Department has become sstifed that
nowhere on the whole frontier is there so
much smuggling, especially of opium, as
Detroit The British Columbian border
has been SO closely guarded SIS to almost
wholly preclude the possibility Of intro
ducipg large quantities without paying $40
d pound duty. at Detroit, however, it
is'a simple task to carry into the country
whole loads of opium surreptitiously.
This was recognized in the case of R A.
West, recently arrested for illicit dealing
in the contraband. 1t was thought that
Vests arrest had broken up the business
at this point. The appearance at San
Francisco, and other Californis cities, of
consignmerts of opium, which had not paid
duty, and which in some cases bore coun-
terieit revenue stamps, disabused the de-
partment of this. Special agents were
set Ct work and the shipments Of opium
were traced TO Detroit. Terence E. Nc
Donough was given charge OF the case.
Several weeks of close watching, with
Investigation pursued in Canada, con-
vinced him that several Detroit
Cinnamon were employed in the sus-
pected traffic, and that their masters
were white men living in this city. To-
day one arrest was made of Chinaman,
whose name is given by him SIS ice
Wood. So far there is little evidence
against him. He has been considered
one of the most respectable Cinnamon in
Detroit, and recently brought libel suit
against Detroit paper for stating that
he had permitted sparrow fighting in his

SYMPTOMS OF DECAY.

The meeting of the Republican clubs in
Chickering Hall, New York, sad their
purpose Of forming q national league, is
one of the strongest evidences imsgina-
bic that the Republican party is falling
into decay and will soon be thing OF
the past. The most prominent men in
the Republican party have entered heart
lily into the new departure, and while
they protest that it is not an abandon
ment Of Republican principles, but q fur
therance Of them, and while the old is
sues are the same, or nearly similar, it
cannot be denied that the necessity for
these clubs springs from lack of faith in
the old organization, and that the clubs
themselves are each crystaliz8d protests
against the Republican party. The idea
Of national psrty processing TO espeuse
the principles, and sct IS an auxiliary TO
another national party already thorough
Iy organized, is too absurd. 1t
is the policy Of the oriental chaa-
cellor WAC, finding the tex on hands
greater than the people could pay,
divided the sum into ten equal parts and
made it fax upon fingers and thumbs,
n the hope that its payment would be
simplified and rendered easy. There are
only certain number Of voters who will
vote the Republican ticket. Dividing
these into two national parties cannot
increase their number. Just now there
is species CT jugglery going on in the
interest of certain candidates for the Re-
publican nomination rs was shown by the
cheering which follow wed the mention Of
certain names. There must be, until
after the next presidential campaign, 8
cohesion and affinity between the new
and the old parties, and to accentuste this
ides, negro suffrage in the south, the
Presidents message, denunciation Of
Lamar, and the glories Of the Republi-
can psrty must each receive considera-
ton; but reading between the lines, it
can be seen that the real object
is to prepare quarters for Republi
can voters to occupy as soon as
the time comes for them to seek new
shelter. They know that il the next
election the Republican party Will sgain
suffer defeat snd disaster, and that their
temples will be razei and demolished by
the cyclone that will sweep over the
country, sparing only such as have the
blood of the Democratic lamb on their
doorpost, and they are prudently provid-
ing for Themselves places of refuge. It
will be the easiest and simplest thing in
the world to introduce aid pass resolu-
ticn changing the new psrty's name from
Republican Club" to something more
"catchy" and less reminiscent. 1t Can
bs done in twinkiiDg, and national
party with new name and creed to be
prescribed will be armed and ready for
the fray. Il is undoubtedly the banshee's
cry for the Republican party in America.
